Verdict

CROWN THE FUTURE showed vastly-improved form when landing a gamble Wolverhampton last week and can defy a penalty to follow up. Lope Harswell has progressed nicely since switching to the AW and stepping up in trip, finishing a clear second over C&D 8 days ago. Popty Ping has also shown her best form at this track and is a player if settling better than last time.
